Default 2 comments.. well 3

Nice! but

1. Still dont see slots cut on the flange
2. The wastegate should of come off the collector at an angle (not 90)

Look forward to seeing what you do for intake plumbing

What difference does the angle of the wastegate tube make?

Default smoothness/responsiveness of the wastegate to boost

i'm sure it can be tuned out... but general good practice is to not make air make a hard 90 turn. Depending on the airflow that kind of turn can add 0.5psi

Default cuts down on turbulence and funky flow issues...

funky flow?

what the hell did i just type?

Either way, it makes boost response smoother.
